How can I delete a cover page so the background pic goes?
I am using Word 2007 and I inserted a cover page from the templates which I
now do not want. When I click insert cover page, there is an option to delete cover page, but it is greyed out. no matter where I put my cursor, this does not become selectable. I must get rid of the current cover page, so that I can put a cover page with our company logo on it before I can submit the report. Hope you can help! Thanks Tessa |

To get rid of the cover page, you could just select the contents on the page
and press Delete. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "TessaD" wrote in message ... I am using Word 2007 and I inserted a cover page from the templates which I now do not want.

delete a cover page
Thanks Stefan, but I've already tried this and it doesn't work - all this
does is move the text on the next page up to the page that has the background image on it. it's the background image that is the problem - I need our company logo, not a MS Word template "pretty picture". I simply want to delete the page entirely, not move text up onto the page. TIA |

delete a cover page
Activate the header/footer view, for example by double-clicking the header
paragraph. Then you should be able to select and delete the picture. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "TessaD" wrote in message ...

delete a cover page
A couple of thoughts;
You could select & delete the image or right-click it & replace it with your logo if you do want to retain the Cover Page [they're designed to be customized rather than accepting "as is"], or Select everything beyond the Cover Page then Copy/Paste to a new document. As to why the command is dimmed I haven't a clue, but is there any Protection applied in the document? Or anything further on that "connects" back to content on the Cover Page [fields, bookmarks...]? I've tried several things & can't reproduce the disabling of the Remove... command. BTW - It may depend on which Cover Page it is, but Stefan's suggestion does work here - you just have to delete *everything* on the Cover Page including the graphic elements. There may also be a few lingering empty paragraphs which have to be deleted as well. Could the included graphic & other remaining content of that particular Cover Page actually be in the Header/Footer rather than in the text layer?
